People's Assembly Against Austerity Rally and March

-

It's not going well for the Tories. They've faced a humiliation over their plans to cut Tax Credits, Cameron's pre election lies have damaged their credibility & public opinion is turning against them.

Despite the Tax Credits bill being rejected in the House of Lords, the Government have said they will still go ahead with the cuts. Yesterday David Cameron refused to answer Jeremy Corbyn's question over Tax Credit Cuts six times during Prime Minister's Questions. He refused to say whether hard working families would be left worse off come April. Cameron said we have to wait until Osborne delivers his Autumn Statement for further details. This simply isn't good enough.

The Tories still plan to cut billions from the welfare bill, to privatise our services and to drive millions into poverty.

Before the Autumn Statement there are two important events in London:
